Food for Friday: Black Rock Shooter Curry

Since Good Smile Cafe is a theme cafe, I couldn't just leave after taking a look at all that was there. Of course I had to try out the food. Now before showing just what were the special items, I have to say that when I go to Japan it seems I have to challenge myself food-wise at least once. I don't plan that. It just happens. First trip I think it was the okonomiyaki in Kyoto. My last trip it had to be the omakase sushi at Narita International. In December it could have been the pasta at Venus Fort except I had to try the special at Good Smile Cafe.

The staff at the cafe will sit you at a table. These are located between the street front and the back sitting area so you can sit and watch whatever anime they are showing at the time or chat with friends. Right now the theme is "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Wish I could go to that! When I went it was "Black Rock Shooter" which I really enjoyed. They have a nice range of food and drink on their menu however it's the specials that are hard to pass by since they offer incentives for ordering them.

Such as this drink they created for "Black Rock Shooter".

They were able to have the blue in the bottom using a type of gelatin. It was quite interesting tasting, not fruit flavored but definitely sweet. I would have another if offered.

Even the napkins were anime themed.

Because I ordered two special items I was able to pick out two coasters. I am not sure what items they have each month but I thought these were pretty nice. But then what was that second food item that tested me?

Black Curry. Yes, it was much darker in color than this photo shows. And very spicy. Probably the one time I actually appreciated mayonnaise on a dish. I would guess they used squid ink to make the curry appear black. It definitely was a challenge but I ate all of it.

Just a simple blog about a few experiences I've had, places I've been and other things.
